He is in one of the best moments of his carreer, and is playing very well, and has already defeted Benjamin Becker, Gilles Muller, Struff e Stakhovsky. This year already won 1 challenger, and make the Irving final last week.

He doesn't have a strong service, but he can manage the poitn cleverly, and get the oponent in the back of the court, waiting to an oportnity to close the point.

Menendez, in th other hand, isn't an ATP player. He plays mostly challengers, never made the top 100 in ap rank, and he don't have any strong point.

He had some dificulties to beat T. Daniel in last round.

So I believe a big win by the american tonight. Playing at home, he should be able to close the match in 2 sets.
